even if you have benign intentions, because actions can still be interpreted badly or completely twisted by anyone who has access to visibility into those actions, it is always best to use a disguise. The engineer said it himself apoearently. If someone wanted to commit the fraud, they wouldn't use their real name.
Likely he knew these types of logs could be interpreted like this, perhaps not. But surely he knew in his country law, verdicts and reality do not always align.
Hope eventually he will be cleared of this, but likely it will be a dark spot on his resume that will follow him needlessly and be a painful reminder for some time to come.
What you are doing and what someone else perceive of it can be worlds apart. Bridging that gap is often impossible, especially after the events.
Thanks. The irony is that using his own name is the best evidence he had nothing to hide. Had he used a disguise, that would now be the case against him. The file is sealed, so we don't know what else the prosecution thinks it has. I believe he will be cleared, and I hope the dark spot on his resume fades with it. The worry is how long that takes. The digital examination is slow, and what it should find is a program reading listings that any registered user can see, logged in under his own name.

Stay safe out there.
